The Bigger Picture

Daisy Jacobs

Two brothers’ relationships to each other and to their ailing Mum is rendered with dry humor and unique, painterly animation that conveys the paper-thin emotional plight of a family being redrawn by mortality. The film is a tribute to the filmmaker’s grandmother Eileen.
